It looks like his meds may have worn off about 11 hours ago and something triggered him to mention Hillary (again). Obsess much?
At what point can Hillary take him to court for harassment.
When they were political opponents it was fair game (and OTT); but now she's just a private citizen.
I've often wondered the same. I'm amazed she hasn't started libel proceedings against him by now. The same can be said of many of Trump's targets, but he keeps getting away with it.
According to an American lawyer I know, if you are a public figure libel is very difficult to win in the US. There has to be intent to cause harm behind the allegation, not just talking bollocks. Although given the content and frequency, of trump comments against Hillary, it must be fairly easy to prove then. Although, doesn’t h have immunity as president?

Just no way. Japanese cuisine is phenomenal.
No.I want steak and a guy in a chefs hat cooking it at my table while he flips his knives all over and sets stuff on fire for my entertainment.
It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance.

5 and counting now for Roy Moore. Trump holding steady with his no comment approach, though there is some speculation he could move Sessions back to being a senator for Alabama and that would also open the door to appoint a new Attorney General, maybe even one who'd fire Mueller.

What Trump has found time for, when he's been too busy to comment on Moore, is to push the justice department to start investigations into Hillary Clinton. It's a tricky one even if Trump is right there's something to look into as there's good reasons the winner of an election does seek to have their rival locked up, and Trump might care to note he's setting a precedent that might come back to haunt him

Highly recommend following @SethAbramson on twitter for tip top comment on all things legal around Trump and his cronies.

I know tiny hands is reviewing the decision to relax laws preventing trophy hunters taking dead elephant parts back to the states, but what on earth gave him the idea that it would be a good idea to relax them anyway?

They're an endangered species ffs!

This is what makes me think that he just wants to overturn every decision Obama made regardless of who or what suffers as a consequence.

Mental.

Then he retweets tweets from others thanking him for reviewing the decision.

The man is utterly mental...the decision to relax the order came from him in the first place.

You're only coming to that conclusion now?
It was his entire reason for running for office in the first place.
Obama "insulted" Trump at a comedy dinner. Trump has no choice but to hit back 10 times harder and destroy EVERYTHING Obama ever stood for.

When I first read that claim I wasn’t so sure, it just seemed too far fetched. Now I’m more convinced that someone with the mentality of trump could be that petty.

Love Trump's Tweets saying that he should've left the UCLA players in jail in China!

Presidential qualities shining through.

What a classless prick.

It's all that time in conjunction with time spent remonstrating with the legal actions of NFL players which leaves him no time to comment on his supporters voting for paedos and sexual predators.

They certainly deserve punishment, but not sure being jailed in China is the way to go.

Seems a moot point in light of Trump's ego issues. First he publicly asks for gratitude for 'his role' in their release. He then offers life advice for them and when the parent of one of them questions 'his role' in their release, he says he should've left them in jail.

Can his delicate ego not take the fact that many people don't see him as the be all and end all?

Rhetorical.....strangely enough, that was the excuse the White House used to explain Trump's tweets on matter.

In other news, he has attacked a different black American athlete in another Twitter tirade.

Certainly seems to be a bit of a trend continuing here.

China always tends to give a US president some offenders who've been released from jail. I assume the US State Dept. would tend to want people who're deemed politically subversive and rather shockingly put in jail, Trump got some shoplifters, and he thought that worthy of praise - what a moron.

And no it wouldn't have been nice being in jail in China, but maybe don't commit a crime in China as the solution to that. And I don't discount they figured jails in China were more humane than those in the USA

He does like some black people



No idea who she is even with the notes saying she was on a TV show and is now in the cabinet, but it does maybe illustrate what level of genuflection is warranted if you want to impress the fat orange one

Digby,

another one of Trump's former best black friends forever (BBFF). Another tragic manifestation of reality TV in government, as she was a regular on his own reality TV show. His attempts to promote his ideology as unbiased and inclusive of the black community are cringingly tragic.

Check this shit out.

Not his worst speed, somewhat rambling, somewhat irrelevant, not bad for Trump. As so often with Don or Ivanka they set out a good aim, in this instance bring back jobs, and then never set out a coherent plan for making that happen, and certainly never actually make it happen

Making the house negro a focus of nonexistent inclusion lacks a certain class and requisite level of comprehension. Some things are very clearly not earmarked for action.

Slightly off topic but our own MP's have recently passed some interesting legislation in regards to animal welfare. This is some fecked up shit.

I guess they have to keep the farming community happy in their comfy Cotswolds seats.

Good point.
There are two motivators here. Reduce the costs of decent animal husbandry in the factory farms, enjoying inflicting violence on defenceless creatures and keeping the rural community onside by allowing them to also do horrible things to God's beautiful creation/almost Divine evolution of the carbon atom. Three, three motivators, the farms, the hunting, the peasants and the big pharma. Four, four motivators,........I'll come in again.
